My name is Max, I'm 28 years old and have always travel in my country, Peru, a nation with a rich culture and a delicious cuisine :) I've been lucky to visit many peruvian towns with my friends in the past years. Each city is a new adventure to know its culture and people!

I'm a lawyer and currently working at my College (PUCP).

Music is my passion since a kid, especially classical and rock. I love playing the piano in my free time and playing in concerts with my tribute band of The Doors, 'Ship of Fools'. Speaking of them, I'm a really really big fan of Jim Morrison :D, so I travelled to Los Angeles in January 2017 and was able to meet Robby Krieger, The Doors guitarist!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having fun and making new friends! and, if I could, convince them to travel to Peru, haha, you will never regret it! You'll always have a peruvian friend in Lima (and of course a place to sleep)

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music:
- Classical music, especially piano music. Beethoven, Chopin, Mozart, Liszt. I can play some pieces on the piano, like Für Elise or Nocturne n° 2 op. 9. If you have a piano at home I can give you a little piano concert :)
- Classic Rock, especially 60s and 70s. The Doors (my favorite band), The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground and so many other great bands from that era!
- Jazz, blues and bossa nova! such relaxing pieces... Bill Evans, Caetano Veloso, John Coltrane, Joao Gilberto!
Love listening to other genres too, like punk, metal, ballad, reggae, new wave, salsa, etc

Movies: My favorites movies are dramas, especially classic films like The Godfather, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas! I also like comedy and romantic movies, haha.

Books: Big fan of latinamerican novels and short stories from the 1900s, Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar. My favorite peruvian writer is Julio Ramón Ribeyro, you should definitely take a look at his short stories, they're are great!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Meeting Robby Krieger, The Doors guitar player, at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles.
Playing the piano blind-folded, including Light my fire by The Doors :D
I can also make some great paper folding (origami), once I made a pegasus and a T-Rex. I can teach you if you will!
